Communist Alliance Fails to Secure Single Seat in Sudurpashchim Province Election

Dhangadhi. The Nepali Communist Party, formed by the alliance of CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), Nagarik Unmukti Party, and the faction led by leader Bhim Rawal, failed to win even a single seat in the Sudurpashchim Province.

This party, which claimed a massive public wave across all nine districts after a grand unity announcement before the election, could not secure victory in any of the 16 electoral constituencies in the province.

Despite campaigning vigorously to win public votes with fanfare, the alliance appears to have failed as the results came out as zero.

The party's biggest hope was in Achham Constituency No. 1, where leader Bhim Bahadur Rawal was the candidate. Rawal, who was expected to win, was defeated, limited to 10,233 votes.

Similarly, in Achham Constituency No. 2, Bal Bahadur Kunwar managed to secure only 6,493 votes.

In Bajhang district, Min Bahadur Kunwar received 9,757 votes, while in Bajura, Prakash Bahadur Shah was confined to 3,301 votes.

Prominent faces of the CPN alliance were also defeated in the Terai districts like Kailali and Kanchanpur.

In Kanchanpur Constituency No. 1, leader Bina Magar secured 11,110 votes, and in Kailali Constituency No. 3, Birman Chaudhary obtained 11,983 votes, but neither managed to win.

In Kailali Constituency No. 5, Prem Bahadur Ale was limited to 7,876 votes. In Kailali's five constituencies, Ram Lal Dagaura Tharu received 8,392 votes in Constituency No. 1, Nanda Bahadur Saud received 4,369 in Constituency No. 2, and Hariram Chaudhary received 5,006 votes in Constituency No. 4.

Furthermore, Prem Ale received 7,876 votes in Constituency No. 5 and was defeated.

Likewise, in Kanchanpur Constituency No. 2, Madhav Prasad Pant secured 6,337 votes. In Constituency No. 3, Man Bahadur Sunar received 4,284 votes. Man Bahadur Sunar received 4,284 votes in Constituency No. 3 again.

In the hilly district of Sudurpashchim, Doti, former Chief Minister of the province, Trilochan Bhatta, was limited to 5,413 votes, while in Dadeldhura, Mansingh Mal received 6,834 votes. In Darchula, Lakshmandatta Joshi received 3,065 votes, and in Baitadi, Parmananda Bhatta received 6,965 votes. Despite failing to win a single seat in Sudurpashchim, party leaders reacted by stating they would not lose heart and would continue to work as servants of the people even more strongly.

On Saturday, leader Bhim Rawal stated that even if he lost the election, he would voice the concerns of the people from the streets. He announced that he would work harder to advance the party from this defeat.
